Quest ADB Scripts

Quas - QUest ADB Scripts

Utility - a collection of the most commonly used commands and actions for the headset. It's like a "multitool" for beginners and beyond. No need to search for and learn adb commands, parameters, and so on.

Just select the desired action from the list.

Description of Operation and Functional Capabilities of the Program

Description of Operation:

The Quas program is designed to help solve problems with Meta Quest headsets, as well as to simplify the use of many standard commands and actions, both documented and not so much. In fact, it is a multitool, a Swiss army knife for enthusiasts and owners of Quest headsets.

The program is written in cmd with some inserts of scripts from other languages: JS, VSH, VBS, PS, as well as with many separate PowerShell scripts, in particular for displaying graphical windows.
Packed in an exe file using Quick Batch File Compiler. It contains additional tools: fastboot, scrcpy, devcon, 7z, adb, aapt, etc. A full list of content can be found on Github.

The program does not need to be installed, just unpack the downloaded archive with applications for working with WinRAR, 7z or other archives, run quas.v.X.X.X.exe for the selected language, wait a few seconds and you can use it. You can also use some startup keys and parameters (see the built-in help, point H, or the list of additional commands at the end of this description). At each launch, Quas displays a table with the most important data on the Main Screen. 

The principle of working with the program is very simple: select a menu item and then follow either the prompts or select the next item. Many options contain detailed instructions and explanations.

In addition to the main data, the information table contains color markings for the most important parameters:

• Date in the headset: The correct time will be highlighted in green, and the wrong time will be highlighted in red.
• Filling: If the headset is 90% or higher full, the value will be red,50% or higher yellow. Below that, it's green.
• Connection: Cable -green, Wi-Fi- dark yellow, dual connection- red.
• TEMP variable: Standard - green, non - standard - yellow.
• Battery level: Below 15% - red, below 50% - yellow, all that is higher - green.
• Launch with permissions: On behalf of the admin - green, on behalf of the user - yellow.
• Update status: Enabled - green, disabled - yellow.
• Headset charge status: Charging - dark green, Full - green, Discharge - Dark yellow, No charge - Red.
• Controller charge:Below 15% - red, below 50% - yellow, all that is higher - green.
• Drivers: Current – green, Outdated – yellow.
• Bluetooth: On – Green, Off - Yellow.

All colors are selected according to the following logic:

Green: regular and optimal status
Dark yellow: you may need to pay attention in one case or another
Yellow: something to look out for
Red: be sure to pay attention

The program has built-in color (only for Win 10 and higher) and letter markings indicating the mode or status of the headset.
It is displayed in the upper-left corner of the program and it is convenient to use it with parameter b (Bypass Info Table key) when the information table is hidden to speed up the program launch.

This section is used for archiving and restoring app data that stores game saves, settings, and other information about the app. Here you can back up this data for each app and then restore it, for example, after resetting your headset to factory settings. This way, your saves and settings won't get lost.   If the data files do not contain saves or they are located in a different location, the backup will not save them.

• Stream a video broadcast on your PC: It runs on the scrcpy program scrcpy and contains five broadcast modes from the headset to the PC - four preset and one manual. Manual mode can be configured independently by seven parameters: Bitrate, FPS, file recording, audio output, proximity sensor, and video codec. The subroutine can work with preset profiles and contains six integrated profiles: minimal, light, balanced, demo, high - quality, and maximum. You can select any of these profiles and immediately start broadcasting with them. You can also set up your own profiles - up to four of them. They will be written to a separate file and can be loaded in the same way as integrated files. In addition, in manual mode, you can save the scrcpy startup string and edit it as you see fit. It contains built-in instructions for use.

This also includes another program for broadcasting – Casting, which is a separate independent translation module extracted from the Meta Quest Developer Hub program. It broadcasts the image in full-format mode and has many settings – bitrate, resolution, etc. Includes the ability to record videos and create screenshots (images).

FAQ for the Quas app:

Q: My antivirus software claims that there is a Trojan or virus in the program. Why?
A: The program and additional utilities are packaged in a single package using the Quick Batch File Compiler application, which, unfortunately, is often used for packaging malicious applications. As a result, anti-virus programs that detect a familiar packer signature do not bother checking the contents and immediately mark the package as malicious. You can unpack the package Quas the usual7zip archiver and study its contents, or you can go to GitHub and see the package composition and source code. Also, starting withv3. 1. 0, the package includes Quas included app AndroidMdnsDiscover.exe designed for detecting the headset over the mDNS protocol and displaying the headset's IP address and port. The same functionality is provided by the Python script, which you can view and download here: https://github.com/thedroidgeek/oculus-wireless-adb/tree/main/script. The packer of this program is also not liked by antivirus programs.

Q: What is the difference between connecting a headset via Wi-Fi from the main menu (item 7) and connecting a headset via port 5555, items F-G-C?
A: If we are talking about connecting to a PC, then there is no difference in this case. However, the second option can also be used to connect directly to the headset from the headset itself, using the same port 5555. You can control the headset via ADB from the inside using apps like Termux or Bugjaeger. For example, you can change the resolution, refresh rate, or CPU/GPU level in this way. Similarly, you can easily connect the headset to a PC wirelessly on the so-called random port, if the Quest Games Optimizer program is running and running on the headset Quest Games Optimizer.

Q: Why is the program written in cmd?
A: Because I do not know other languages, and I just needed a utility with a small set of ADB functions, so that I did not have to enter commands manually every time. I wrote it and decided to share it. But over time, the program has grown a little..

Q: I found an error, what should I do?
A: Write about it right here on the forum in the topic Discussion of the Quas app or directly from the program, points W-F-Leave a review or send a file. I'll try to fix it for the next release.

B: Headset in Bootloader mode. I connect it with a cable to the PC, run Quas and it writes that the headset is not detected. The drivers are installed.
A: Install more recent versions of drivers, while the best ones are1.72. You can download them in the Downloads section of this forum.

B: At startup, the following messages appear: "mode"is not an internal or external command, executable program, or batch file, and"chcp" is not an internal or external command, executable program, or batch file.
A: Most likely, you are missing some mandatory elements of the system PATH variable, namely: C:\Windows, C:\Windows\System32.
To fix this error, add these missing parameters to the PATH variable.
Open the cmd console with administrator rights and run this command there:
setx PATH "%PATH%;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32"
Then restart your computer and check again.

B: I flashed the headset with your program and now it won't load. Is it because of the manual firmware or is the program to blame?
A: Neither. Unfortunately, this happens, and it doesn't matter how to flash it - officially over the air or manually. In fact, the program does not flash, it only loads the firmware file into the headset using the standard Android mechanism.: adb sideload update.zip. But after тогоthe firmware file is sent to the device, the headset itself is directly involved in installing the firmware, before double-checking the file for certificates and correct checksums. This is also the reason why it is impossible to flash a modified or inappropriate firmware file - the headset simply won't "approve" it and won't sew it.  It also checks whether the file version matches the headset version.
You can also read this article: What is the difference between over-the-air (OTA) headset firmware, manually, and via the Meta website?

B: I start the program and get a lot of messages" The system cannot write to the specified device".
A: This is due to console Cyrillic fonts, not all of them support Cyrillic characters in UTF-8. Open the cmd console and click RMBon the console window icon in the upper-left corner. Select "Default" and on the Fonts tab, set the Lucida Console or Consolas font. Or use the English version of Quas, there is no such problem.
